Zach Bell of B.C., sparkled at the Pan American cycling championships in Valencia, Venezuela on Friday with a silver medal performance in the individual time trial to kick-off the road racing portion of the competition.

"That just confirms that Zac has a lot of talent," said Kris Westwood, high performance program director for the Canadian Cycling Association. "He's consistently improving in the time trial. He's in the best shape of his career thanks to many hours training on the track this winter."

David Veilleux of Quebec was 16th and was ranked sixth in the under-23 division
